it is a parody, but a little too close to the truth
Newman's new song, "I'm Dreaming (of a White President)," is clearly a parody meant to call attention to racism, but not everybody sees the humor. Since being uploaded to YouTube, the clip has garnered comments—some positive, some not so much.
The song, which features lyrics such as "I'm dreaming of a white President, Just like the ones we've always had, A real live white man, Who knows the score, How to handle money or start a war, Wouldn't even have to tell me what we were fighting for," is wistfully sung to a tune reminiscent of "White Christmas."
